He posted a video with his mother, Usha Soman, who is eighty-years-old. The two can be seen skipping and we loved their enthusiasm. Alongside the post, Milind wrote how it is not a new thing for his mother but definitely for him, his caption can be read as "Skipping with @somanusha! Not a new activity for her but new for me when you are at home 24×7, each one, teach one another! You are old only when you think you are.. #LockdownMantra." Take a look at it below:

A few days ago, we had spotted Milind's mother doing a leg-hop with her bahu, Ankita Konwar. In the video, we could see the saas-bahu duo enjoying the one-leg hop. Alongside it, Ankita had written a sweet caption that could be read as "In all of living, have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured - #gordonbhinckley If I live to be 80 someday, my only wish is to approach it as fit as you are. May you inspire many more." (Also Read: Karan Johar's Kids, Yash And Roohi Johar Are Diet-Policing Him, Barred Him From Eating A Burger)

In an interview with The Indian Express, Milind had shared that it is because of his mother he gets the idea of staying fit. He had said, "I give credit to my mom for inspiring and encouraging me to take sports seriously. She was a professor of bio-chemistry and at the age of 60 when she retired she started trekking.Today, she is 76 and participates in a 100-kilometre trek. She does that every year and has inspired my sisters to join her. They all are above 50." He had further added, "The kind of encouragement I had as a child to continue sports was brilliant. Like any other family, my people asked me to stress more on studies rather than swimming. But, my mother said ‘He enjoys it and should balance both studies and sports’. Those 13 years of my life played such an important role in shaping my life and mind." (Don't Miss: South Star, Ram Charan Takes The 'Real Man' Challenge, Mops The Floor And Nominates Ranveer Singh)
